Benefits of technology

"The patent describes a radio frequency (RF) hybrid switch module that includes an antenna duplexer and a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter integrated therein. The module reduces parasitic inductance and improves attenuation at lower frequencies. The module includes a dividing circuit, a switching circuit, a low pass filter, and an electrode pattern. The electrode pattern is formed on at least one of the dielectric layers of a laminated body. The technical effect of this invention is to improve the performance of the RF hybrid switch module and enhance the attenuation characteristic of the SAW filter."

Problems solved by technology

This creates a loss of the signal on the board, thus reducing a receiving sensitivity of the communication device.

Abstract

A radio frequency (RF) hybrid switch module includes an antenna duplexer integrated with a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter used in a mobile communication device such as a cellular phone. The switch module handles a transmitted signal and received signal of different frequency bands. A parasitic inductance due to a mounting of the SAW filter is reduced, so that an attenuation characteristic at a low frequency of the SAW filter is improved. The RF hybrid switch module includes: a dividing circuit; a switching circuit; a low pass filter (LPF); an electrode for forming at least a portion of the dividing circuit, switching circuit, and the LPF; a laminated body including a dielectric layer having the electrode formed thereon; a SAW filter which is mounted on the laminated body, corresponds to plural frequency bands, and has a grounding port; a diode mounted on the laminated body for forming a portion the switching circuit, a grounding electrode formed in the laminated body, and a via-conductor directly connecting the grounding port of the SAW filter.
